First time I’ve seen this sitting behind my shitty VPN. If the frontpage /r/normaldayinrussia posts didn’t make you raise an eyebrow knowing their denying access to people for running a VPN should at least make you second guess.

I’m going to not believe you given the circumstances. I tried every 15 mins for at least 6 hours and I’ve also been using reddit for a fair amount of time to never experience it.
